Alan Halsall: "Deirdre farewell scenes will be hard to watch"

Alan Halsall, who plays Tyrone Dobbs on Coronation Street, has been talking to the Manchester Evening News about Deirdre's funeral scenes. He says that he believes the whole nation will find Deirdre's farewell scenes tough.

Alan revealed that he grew up with Deirdre, as a Coronation Street fan before joining the soap in 1998.

He said: “The storylines will pull on heartstrings. I
knew Deirdre before I knew Annie as I grew up watching Corrie so it’s
really difficult anyway but to know her personally as well and for it to
be so quick, it’s such a tragic loss to everybody, whether you knew her
or not. Some people would have known her character for forty years. Those scenes will be hard to watch.”
